Bradley to face TCU in Corpus Christi tournament

Bradley will meet Texas Christian at 6 p.m. on the CBS Sports Network in a Nov. 28 men’s basketball matchup in the Corpus Christi Coastal Classic, tournament officials announced Wednesday.

The game with the Horned Frogs, the first meeting between the schools since the 2010 championship of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic in Springfield, Mass., will be followed by Saint Louis and Mississippi State at 8:30 p.m.

The losers and winners meet the following day at 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m., respectively. The title game will also be on CBS Sports Network.

Bradley also gets two home games from the tournament package. The Braves host North Carolina A&T on Sunday, Nov. 23 followed by a Nov. 25 home game against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

Both are Division I opponents — North Carolina A&T from the Mid-Eastern Conference and Corpus Christi from the Southland.

TCU, a member of the Big 12 Conference, was 9-22 last season. Saint Louis, of the Atlantic 10, was 27-7 last season, reaching the third round of the NCAA tournament. Mississippi State, of the Southeastern Conference, was 14-19 a year ago.
